- Fix to support 2.6.30 and later x86 CONFIG_4KSTACKS kernels, where
the hardirq_ctx[] and softirq_ctx[] NR_CPUS-bounded arrays were
replaced with per-cpu variables. Without the patch, the crash
session would fail during initialization with the error message
"crash: cannot resolve: hardirq_ctx".

- Clean up gdb header files that generate warning messages when
compiling the top-level cmdline.c file with "make warn" or
"make Warn". (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx)
- If an attempt is made to use an x86 vmlinux file on an x86_64 host,
bail out with a "not a supported file format" error immediately
instead of later on when trying to match the linux_banner string.

- Fix for "bt" command on x86 Xen hypervisor dumpfiles where a vcpu
received a shutdown NMI while running in an interrupt handler.
Without the patch, the backtrace would indicate "bt: cannot resolve
stack trace", and dump the text symbols on the stack.

- Implemented support for the KVM "save-vm" file format, which is
also proposed as the dumpfile format for the "virsh dump" command
for KVM guests.

- Increase NR_CPUS from 512 to 4096 for x86_64.

- Correct cpu accounting when processors have been taken offline using
a new get_highest_cpu_online() utility function. Without the patch,
commands that have per-cpu displays may not show a cpu's information
and/or may show information for an offline cpu. This patch only
addresses 2.6.30 and later x86_64 kernels in which the per-cpu array
x8664_pda data structures were replaced with per-cpu variables.

- Replace the CFLAGS definition in the Makefile with a CRASH_CFLAGS
definition, which in turn contains ${CFLAGS}. This will allow the
issuing of user-defined CFLAGS on the "make" command line, as is done
according to the Fedora build guidelines.

- Fix for a segmentation violation within the embedded gdb module
during session invocation, when running against kernels built with
Fedora gcc version 4.4.0-12 and later (2.6.31-0.62.rc2.git4.fc12
and later Fedora kernels). The gcc update introduced a more
compact Dwarf 3 DW_AT_data_member location, which in turn required
a patch to all versions of gdb.
